I'd thought about getting some nice steel to make a keeper behind the cab of my bobbed deuce. But, I just couldn't bring myself to wasting the money on the steel when I had the original wood keeper from the truck (I've also tried to acquire the wood sides and bows for an M105 with no luck)...

Can the 6TL batteries (or civilian equivalent) be purchased locally? If so, what's a good source? Also, how long do you expect these batts to survive? I only drive the truck once a week.

I was trying to acquire a medium towbar for my truck. I noticed that Austin Aviation on ebay sells them for about $500. Is this a fair price? I figure another 100 bucks or so in shipping--seems kinda expensive. Any thoughts or opinions? Steve

Several members have had a similar problem of hard starts but after goosing the throttle a little the engine resumes a normal idle RPM. I couldn't find the original post. To refresh memories. After sitting overnight, my deuce fires up quickly (less than a revolution). However, it would run...

Okay, I've looked at the -10 (to satisfy that tomato guy--hopefully) and I can't find what position the drum lock should be in when NOT using the winch. Should it be engaged (ie no drum movement) or disengaged (drum movement)? Thanks. Steve

I have a question I'm scared to ask. But I'd better. In the attached photos, specifically the opening shown off the turbo, I noticed an oily vapor coming out while the truck was running. I'd never noticed this before. The truck is running in these photos--but the pics didn't pick up the...

I looked back at previous threads and found a few photos of the NAPA muffler install. And bottleworks sent me some pics too. However, its not clear from the photos how the muffler is attached to the j pipe near the fender. Does the muffler slide over or into this pipe and then gets clamped...

How crucial is the cork seal for the keyway on the rear axles? I didn't notice anything mentioned in the manuals. Do they go in before the washer? What kind of substitute can be used? Thanks. Steve

Question. I have a bobbed deuce. The rear axle on the truck has a flipped hub. The extra axle is not flipped (ie in original configuration). If I want to go back to duals on the rear, could I simply change hub assemblies (bearings, hub, drum) from the extra axle to the axle on the truck? Or...

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I'm a little confused and not a chemist. The LO indicates that GO should go into the transmission, t-case, and diffs (80/90 weight). There is no mention of GL-1 etc that I could find, only specifications at the back of the manual. Specifically, MIL-L-2105. I...

Took my truck out for an extended drive today. One hour at 45 to 50 mph the temp gauge never got over 165. Think the gauge or sender is bad? Or maybe the thermostat is screwy? Truck has a brand new radiator and I've never gotten it over this temp. Any advice?

My wife and I went over to the submarine museum in St. Marys Georgia earlier in the summer. Very cool museum (even though I'm an army guy). Anyway, on the way back, we saw this from far off. Is it a LARC? Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo. Thought some might find it interesting. Steve

I've been trying to resolve my poor idle at startup. Today I pulled the tank to clean it and check the pump to make sure it wasn't plugged or something. Lots of crap in the tank including the bottom of the pump! Actually, several pump bottoms! I'm assuming that plate isn't absolutely...

I recently went to Michelin tires so I have 4 excess to my needs 9.00 NDCCs. They are in good condition with servicable tubes and flaps. I am in Gainesville, FL. If anyone could use these, they are free. No shipping though. If this is a no-no for the site, I apologize, however, I've seen...

I drove the duece to work today. On the way back home, I noticed that brake pedal was hard as a rock--no give at all! Even the brake lights were permanently engaged! I released the pressure from my air tanks and it's the same! What gives? Rubber hoses seem to be intact with no depressions...

Finally got the XLs mounted and installed. I know many have these and larger too, but I was excited to change the NDCCs out. These are HEAVY! Those with 1100s on bobbed dueces, what tire pressure do you maintain? I have 65 up front and 40 in back. Front wandered a little which it didn't do...

Had some extra non-slip tape left over from the trailer dovetail so I "creatively" applied it to my M35A2 fenders. Turned out pretty good.

I'd been experiencing crappy idle in my multi on start up, It took a few throttle gooses to get it to even out. It would nearly stall if you didn't hit the throttle. Anyway, several guys in the mess tent suggested it was air and bad fuel. I drained the fuel tank and I think it had varnish in...

I finally got some 11.00 michelins for my truck. Could someone recommend a good source for the inner tubes and flaps? Thanks. Steve

I've got to replace my compressor. Any limitations on the type of the sealant I can use? Any old silicone sealant okay? Thanks. Steve
